Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface. Locate the manufacturer's recommended jacking points, typically found in the vehicle's manual, and carefully align the jack's saddle under these points before lifting.
First, check the hydraulic oil level; it may need topping up. Also, ensure that the release valve is fully closed and that there are no air pockets in the hydraulic system by bleeding the jack if necessary.
Regular maintenance should be performed every three months, including checking the hydraulic oil level, inspecting for leaks, and ensuring all moving parts are lubricated.
Use a high-quality hydraulic oil with a viscosity of ISO VG32 or equivalent, as recommended in the jack's manual.
Slowly turn the release valve counterclockwise to lower the vehicle gently. Ensure no body parts are under the vehicle during this process for safety.
Inspect the handle's attachment points and tighten any loose bolts. If the handle is damaged, consider replacing it to maintain safe operation.
No, it is not safe to use the trolley jack on uneven surfaces. Always ensure the jack is used on a stable, flat surface to prevent accidents.
Oil leaks can be caused by worn seals or damaged components. Inspect the jack for visible leaks, replace any damaged seals, and ensure all fittings are tight.
Store the jack in a dry, clean environment, ideally in an upright position. Keep it away from moisture and corrosive substances to prevent rust and damage.
Always use jack stands to support the vehicle after lifting, never exceed the jack's rated capacity, and keep the area clear of bystanders during operation.
